The Secret Behind Actress Yoon Eun Hye’s Youthful Looks & Slim Figure

Did you know that South Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye (윤은혜) is turning 42 years old this year? Despite being in her 40s, the star looks almost the same as she did when she first debuted 27 years ago, leaving the public to wonder what the secret to her unwavering looks is.

Yoon Eun Hye recently made an appearance on the SBS variety show “My Little Old Boy”, sparking interest with her youthful beauty. The show’s regular panel praised her unchanging looks, saying she looked exactly as she did when she was younger. While she quipped that it’s because of her maknae (youngest) title in Baby V.O.X, the real reason behind Yoon Eun Hye’s beauty is her disciplined lifestyle.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM (@babyvox.concert_official)

On the show, the actress detailed the strict self-care habits she has followed for over a decade to maintain her looks and figurae. According to Yoon Eun Hye, she hasn’t eaten white rice in 13 years. Instead, she has completely switched to eating only multigrain rice. On top of that, she hasn’t drunk carbonated drinks and alcohol in over a decade, highlighting her relentless effort to manage her visuals.

In case you’re wondering, cutting out sugary drinks and alcohol can have a positive impact on one’s health. Switching from white rice to multigrain rice is also beneficial as it contains more fibre and protein to keep you satiated for longer. However, since white rice, carbonated drinks and alcohol are all things that many South Koreans enjoy, Yoon Eun Hye’s decision to abstain from consuming them sparked even more praise for her discipline.

Of course, the result of her consistent diet management is very apparent. When Baby V.O.X held their reunion stage in 2024, fans noted that Yoon Eun Hye looks nearly unchanged from the group’s debut days. Her youthful looks were also noticeable when she recreated her iconic Shin Chae Kyung look from “Princess Hours (궁)” for a YouTube video. It’s worth mentioning that the actress was in her early 20s when she played the high school student.

It takes effort to change one’s diet, but it takes real discipline to maintain it for over a decade. We have to give kudos to Yoon Eun Hye for sticking to her strict diet management plan for so long, but we’re sure the results were worth it.

Julian Cheung & Anita Yuen’s Son Morton Evokes “Return Of The Cuckoo” Memories With Shorter Hairstyle

While Julian Cheung (张智霖) and Anita Yuen (袁咏仪)’s son Morton (张慕童) is mostly away from the spotlight, the 20-year-old does occasionally make an appearance in public alongside his parents. Recently, the university student appeared at an event with his father, sporting a bold new look.

Last weekend, Julian and Morton enjoyed some quality father-and-son time together, attending Hong Kong magician Louis Yan’s show at the Hong Kong Coliseum. As Morton is currently attending university in London, his appearance at the event gave the public a rare glimpse at his recent life.

In footage captured by netizens, Morton appeared in casual attire, wearing a plaid shirt over a white tee with light blue jeans. Meanwhile, his father Julian also sported a T-shirt-and-jean combo, but paired it with a jacket. Despite keeping a low profile, both Morton and Julian still attracted the public’s attention.

Notably, Morton sparked interest with his new hairstyle. The 20-year-old, who previously sported a softer Korean-inspired hairstyle, now has a buzzcut, instantly transforming his image. Many netizens noted that the look gave him a more masculine charm, especially paired with his tall figure.

Interestingly, netizens also noted that Morton’s look and his demeanour reminded them of one of Julian’s past roles. Many said he looked strikingly similar to Man Cho (文初) from TVB’s “Return of the Cuckoo (十月初五的月光)”, thanks to his hairstyle and walking posture. Some fans even quipped that seeing Morton evoked memories from the 2000 drama.

SOURCES: CHINA PRESS & TVB

While Morton may have the looks to start an acting career, the public may never see him on television or in movies. In a recent interview, Anita quipped that her son won’t enter the entertainment industry because he’s too shy. The actress even frankly said that Morton doesn’t have the talent to be on camera.

It’s a shame that Morton may never make his acting debut since the public has already expressed interest in his good looks. However, we’re sure his parents know him best and are ready to support him no matter what he does.

Rado Brings a Colour-Changing Dial to the True Round Open Heart

Rado is delighted to introduce its new limited-edition True Round Open Heart, a captivating timepiece that demonstrates just how elegant and innovative mechanical watchmaking can be.

The dial features a scintillating photochromatic effect: exposure to ultra-violet light transforms its pale rose colour into a vibrant magenta. The pale rose hue matches that of the case and bracelet, both crafted in high-tech ceramic, Rado’s signature material.

The characteristic Open Heart cutaway dial presents the number 8, often thought to bring good luck – all the more reason to produce a strictly limited number of pieces – 888. In a closer look from a different angle, the openwork dial reveals the beating heart of the watch through a symbol for infinity, uniquely expressive of both passing time and an eternal present.

This True Round Open Heart Limited Edition combines lucky numbers with innovative technology and convincing aesthetics in a charming manner, appealing to anyone drawn to distinctive and fashionable design. The pale rose sunray dial features a scintillating photochromatic effect, shifting from rose to magenta as the light changes.

The polished rose-coloured bracelet and monobloc case are in pale rose high-techceramic, and the titanium case back features a special engraving: LIMITED EDITION, ONE OUT OF 888.

Powered by Rado’s own R734 automatic movement, the new timepiece is both a mechanical wonder and a compelling expression of the art of watchmaking. Fitted with an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring, the watch has a power reserve of 80 hours, and is water-resistant to 5 bar (50 metres). This Limited Edition comes in special packaging together with a limited-edition certificate.

 

Signature innovation in high-tech materials

High-tech ceramic truly embodies Rado’s experience and status as Master of Materials. Not only is it a material of astonishing durability, with remarkable scratch-resistant characteristics, but it is also beautifully light and silky to the touch, with the ability to quickly match the wearer’s body temperature, so it feels like an extension of themselves. No wonder we like to say “Feel it!”

Rado

High-tech ceramic was first introduced by Rado in 1986 following extensive research and development, and can only be produced under exacting conditions.

The process starts with extremely pure and finely calibrated mineral powders of zirconium oxide, which are mixed with a specially developed plastic carrier medium and injected into precision moulds at pressures of around 1,000 bar.

The moulds are heated, then allowed to cool and the plastic carrier agent dissolved chemically. The ceramic forms are then heated again, this time to 1,450°C. This precisely controlled sintering stage causes powdered particles to fuse together, resulting in a density and hardness that far exceeds regular ceramic. The reward is a material that stands at 1,250 on the Vickers scale and which can be machined and finished, using diamond tools, ready to be assembled into a Rado timepiece.

 

For more information on the new limited-edition True Round Open Heart, you can check out Rado’s website here.

Vanness Wu Announces Remarriage With Wedding Ring Photo

Congratulations to Vanness Wu (吳建豪)! Earlier today (Monday, 29th June 2026), the Taiwanese-American singer-actor surprised fans by announcing his remarriage, eight years after separating from Singaporean heiress and entrepreneur Arissa Cheo.

Vanness announced the news through social media, writing, “Every good thing comes from above. 2026 has been filled with so many blessings. Being able to tour again with the boys, being able to do what I love on stage and perform for you all… and now being blessed with the most important person in my life.” The star continues, “I’m truly so grateful to be able to share this love with all of you who have supported me throughout the years.”

View this post on Instagram

The post also included a black-and-white photo believed to be of Vanness and his partner’s hands with their wedding rings. Vanness notably didn’t disclose his partner’s identity. Nevertheless, fans and fellow celebrities extended their congratulations to the newly married couple, wishing them a happy and blessed marriage. The singer’s management partner, B’in Music, also asked the public to respect the couple’s privacy amid this new phase of their lives.

This marriage marks Vanness’s second marriage. The 47-year-old was previously married to Singaporean heiress and entrepreneur Arissa Cheo. The two tied the knot in 2013 and divorced in 2018. Throughout their five-year marriage, Vanness and Arissa faced tons of separation rumours. There were also allegations that the couple had long planned to divorce before splitting in 2018, and lived separately very early into their marriage.

The remarriage announcement comes amid Vanness touring with his fellow F4 members Jerry Yan (言承旭) and Vic Chou (周渝民) and MAYDAY (五月天) member Ashin (阿信). The quartet recently concluded their “F FOREVER” concert in Manila and is set to perform in Kuala Lumpur at the Unifi Arena (formerly Axiata Arena) on 7th and 8th August 2026 (Friday and Saturday). Tickets to the two-day concert are now available for purchase via BookMyShow.

When the screen transitions to GIVA, guests are introduced to a sleek digital interface displaying real-time weather updates unique to Genting Highlands.

Zone 3, also called Legacy Lens, offers a deeper connection to the origins of the Genting Group through the life and vision of its founder, Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong. Visitors can watch a presentation that recounts his journey from China to Malaysia and how his vision transformed a remote mountain into a world-class destination.

Before entering the Grand Finale theatre, visitors are introduced to a special time capsule that counts down to the year 2040. Sealed within is a personal message from Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, the current Executive Chairman, addressed to the future generation entrusted with carrying forward the Genting legacy.

GGXC Grand Finale Show

Zone 5, the Grand Finale Show is a 180-degree immersive theatre that concludes the GGXC journey.

The zone also features a performance dashboard, offering real-time insights into visitor statistics across all hotels, theme parks, and cable cars.

Once the show ends, guests are invited to continue their exploration in self-guided mode.

(Video) BABYMONSTER Chiquita’s Sexy Performance Sparks Backlash Towards YG Entertainment

It’s not uncommon for K-Pop stars to perform a sexy dance number. However, it can be concerning when the idol performing said routine is still a minor. BABYMONSTER (베이비몬스터) member Chiquita’s (치키타) recent performance at her group’s solo concert sparked concern and outrage over its mature theme.

Over the weekend, BABYMONSTER performed at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, kicking off their “CHOOM” world tour. The concert featured several new performances, including solo stages for the members. However, it was Chiquita’s performance which sparked the most concern, as many thought it was inappropriate for her age.

Chiquita Worth It solo #Babymonster #베이비몬스터 #choom_world_tour #춤 #Chiquita

♬ Worth It – Fifth Harmony&Kid Ink

For her solo performance, the 17-year-old performed a cover of Fifth Harmony’s hit song, “Worth It”. The stage began with a dance routine which included sensual movements and slightly provocative floor choreography. Dressed in a red halter top and shorts, Chiquita continued the rest of the performance, drawing cheers from the audience.

While the idol received praise for her solo performance, the routine understandably sparked concern. Many felt the choreography was too mature for the minor, arguing that some movements were too provocative for a teenager. The debate also prompted backlash towards BABYMONSTER’s agency, YG Entertainment.

Many expressed outrage towards the company for pushing a mature concept onto Chiquita, accusing it of oversexualising a minor. It’s worth noting that YG Entertainment previously sparked heated debate over BABYMONSTER’s “CHOOM” choreography, where all the members, including the youngest, were twerking.

SOURCES: TWITTER (@ChqCnny & @Allumeuuu4933)

Some fans also called out the double standard with YG Entertainment, noting that the company has repeatedly gotten away with pushing a sexy concept on Chiquita and the rest of BABYMONSTER. Meanwhile, other K-Pop companies have received massive backlash for similar situations, even when their idols are older.

Of course, some fans defended the routine, arguing that a young dancer should be allowed to perform a mature choreography without being sexualised. Some also contended that as long as Chiquita is comfortable with the performance, fans have no say in whether she’s allowed to perform the routine.

As of now, there’s no news of whether Chiquita or YG Entertainment will revise the routine to make it more age-appropriate. However, fans continue to urge the company to protect their underage idols.
